I'll read what I think is obvious from the survey results 13:06:19 [[ 13:06:20 Q1: Should W3C reach out to the broader Web community to create such a 13:06:21 program for increased affiliation? 13:06:22 ]] 13:06:44 Jeff: 195 people said yes (out of 205) 13:07:05 Jeff: most of the people chose "show me where to sign up" (87) 13:07:23 ... If all sign up I'm confident that we'd not lose money if we started a program 13:08:08 Jeff: Should a program be designed as a minimalist program? 13:08:21 ... a decent majority said so 13:08:32 ... my conclusion is that it should start minimalist 13:08:39 ... now, some people said that it should not 13:08:54 ... benefits listed subsequently, but not too much, should be appropriate 13:09:01 yes 13:09:11 Jeff: with the promise of more benefits later 13:09:28 Jeff: Question 4 "Should there be benefits that increase W3C posture as a community?" 13:09:47 Jeff: 133 said yes, 7 said no, 65 said "not important" 13:10:34 yup 13:10:37 Jeff: [goes over list of ranked popular benefits] 13:10:37 yes 13:10:55 Jeff: Q6: Should there be tangible benefits to this program (point C)? 13:11:06 Jeff: Here, my sense is that it's pretty split 13:11:15 ... one quarter said yes, one quarter said no 13:11:22 ... we could skip this altogether 13:11:42 ... but in q7, 90 people said "Discounts of W3C services" would be a nice tangible benefit 13:11:51 +1 to Training discounts 13:12:00 Jeff: Is that a reasonable interpretation of the survey? 13:12:00 +1 13:12:02 +1 13:12:07 +1 13:12:29 Jeff: Q8: "Should there be a mechanism where Webizens are represented at the decision making of W3C (point D)?" 13:12:39 Jeff: I think we should do that, per results 13:12:53 Jeff: Q9 shows the survey speaks 13:13:28 ... Program could look like: supporters page and ceo call, one tangible benefit (discount) 13:13:47 ... we'd need to define participant groups 13:14:01 Jeff: Q10 "Should we name this program the Webizen program?" 13:14:14 Jeff: That got sufficient opposition to go through the available choices 13:14:22 ... or make another survey 13:14:30 ... and come up with other choices 13:14:35 ... not necessarily before TPAC 13:14:42 ~5 choices 13:14:44 q+ to offer a nth suggestion 13:14:51 ack me 13:14:51 koalie, you wanted to offer a nth suggestion 13:15:04 Coralie: Web Society? 13:15:41 q+ 13:15:45 Jeff: I like it, it's a valid thing to put in the survey 13:15:50 my 2 cents: I like Open web supporter, even if I think this name is pretty ok, at least it make sense 13:15:56 ... I wouldn't want to choose it without putting it to scrutiny 13:16:08 ... It sounds like it's competing with Internet Society 13:16:16 [+1 I thought that too re: compete] 13:16:19 ack LJWatson 13:16:26 Léonie: looking at the list we got 13:16:33 q+ 13:16:39 from the list, I like "W3C Individual Participant" -- because it seems parallel to our other categories 13:16:42 ... some described the program, some the participants of the program 13:16:50 ... should we look at this? 13:17:03 ... Web society, for example, doesn't look at participant 13:17:34 ack me 13:17:35 Jeff: Good point; if it describes the people, it's easy to reuse as program nameaa 13:17:42 s/neameaa/name/ 13:17:46 ack j 13:18:18 Julian: do we know the location of the people who took the survey? 13:18:30 Coralie: Nope, we didn't ask the question and our system didn't have any way to find out 13:18:46 Jeff: We debated that and chose not to include the question, to not drive prople away 13:18:55 Jeff: Then we got free flow comments 13:19:23 ... nothing jumped at me as a reason to rethink the whole thing 13:19:25 [same] 13:19:47 Jeff: If we have a consensus, I'll write this up in some formal proposal 13:19:59 ... and propose it to W3M which meets on Wednesdays 13:20:18 ... the AC proposal will be on 27-Oct 13:20:44 ... a proposal which addresses the strong sense from the community that this should allow more engagement in W3C 13:21:14 ... and addresses the concern the AC expressed in June that we do not offer in this program beneftis that are reserved to the AC 13:21:23 q+ 13:21:29 ... I think we're in better shape and I hope we are. 13:21:33 ack ann 13:21:47 Ann: I thought it was a cool survey 13:21:56 ... interested in geographic source of the responders 13:22:01 [Coralie too!] 13:22:27 Ann: The language we use to describe; one commenter said "you refer to Web Developers, what about the rest of us?" 13:22:36 Ann: I relate to that and wanted to emphasise this 13:22:40 Jeff: Great point. 13:22:58 ... there was text in question 9, and in the preamble, 13:23:12 ... and you're right, we should not restrict; we think of people by interest, by regions 13:23:26 Ann: Somebody else spoke to the point of not only wanting to review charters 13:23:41 ... [Ann reads] 13:23:47 ... the point means more than charter review 13:23:55 ... I'm sure we'll have a bunch of iterations 13:24:00 ... that comment was useful 13:24:04 Jeff: Yes definitely 13:24:24 ... that comment to also speaks to how we create the representation groups 13:24:35 s/groups/groups (cf. Q9)/ 13:25:06 +1 to Ann's comments 13:25:06 koalie ++ 13:25:10 Ann: Thanks Coralie for the great work and redoing the survey and dissemination 13:25:17 Coralie: Thank you! 13:25:38 Jeff: And Julian we also got good support from your colleague and enhanced our survey 13:25:52 ... please extend our thanks 13:26:18 Ann: In the background, I had a suggestion on how to advertise this 13:26:42 ... I heard a suggestion to go to FOSDEM to advertise this 13:26:53 Jeff: FOSDEM is a great conference around open source and linux 13:27:06 ... Yes, that would be a great place for outreach 13:27:15 Ann: I responded go for it :) 13:27:38 q+ to mention french web conf next fortnight 13:27:45 Jeff: AC first, obviously 13:27:58 ack me 13:27:58 koalie, you wanted to mention french web conf next fortnight 13:28:57 Jeff: The whole thing is extremely public 13:29:03 ... no problem telling people what we're up to 13:29:16 Ann: I think it's a great idea Coralie, the more we can tell and point to 13:29:46 ... in the spirit of Ian sending Advance Notice, this is the sort of situation we're in 13:30:06 Jeff: We should talk about it, definitely; I meant that holding a booth at fosdem was premature 13:30:25 how about W3C cards with QCR code 13:30:37 [+1] 13:31:20 Jeff++ for wrangling this whole effort 13:31:29 Jeff: I'm not sure we'll have more calls 13:31:32 yes, indeed!!! 13:31:39 ... I'll send updates in e-mail of course 13:32:07 Ann: If you want help during TPAC, pairing, let me know 13:32:24 Jeff: The webizen have spoken, I'll carry their message forward 13:32:57 bye 13:32:59 -LéonieWatson 13:33:01 -JulianHarriott 13:33:01 -Veronica 13:33:02 -koalie 13:33:02 -Jeff 13:33:03 Team_JEFF(WEBIZ)9:00AM has ended 13:33:03 Attendees were koalie, Veronica, Jeff, [IPcaller], LéonieWatson, +44.778.839.aaaa, JulianHarriott, Ann 13:33:04 [adjourned] 13:33:12 Zakim, list attendees 13:33:12 sorry, koalie, I don't know what conference this is 13:33:18 RRSagent, make minutes 13:33:18 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/10/03-webizen-minutes.html koalie 15:54:25 Zakim has left #webizen 15:57:42 veronica has left #webizen
